this one??

Yes, that's the one, although I'd prefer the carbon fibre version they do;

Sadly the carbon pedals are well over £2k, so they won't be finding their way to me. I haven't asked the price for the aluminium set-up yet, but I'll bet it's horrendously expensive.

Life would be a lot easier if I was allowed to modify the bulkhead for more clearance.....

could you not make a set of them?? they dont look very complicated

Someone talented could, but that excludes me.

i could make some out of steel but alloy is also beyond me

You could create some sort of large bolt in ally / carbon plate that effectively raises the entire drivers footwell and mount the box on it, that way you could get things further back and the angle of your legs would increase the distance too.

Alright you'd need to suss the throttle setup again, but without bulkhead mods / new pedal box the options are limited.

Those carbon arches are sexy time!

Heh those carbon pedals would scare the bejebus outta me

This arrived in the post yesterday;





It was cheap as whoever removed it from the car had simply cut through the cable going into the back of the module (!). I've had a word with Farringdon Instruments who make these, and they're going to repair it at a very sensible price.

Not sure whether I will replace my STACK display with this one eventually or not - obviously I won't be using the steering wheel which came with it!! It's a tiny 250mm one out of a single seater.

I'd keep the stack & have something to shroud it in either carbon or ally. Gogo on the floor & pedals!

Scarcely an update, but I did fit my titanium sump plug today (it's a racing motorcycle item!). Looks lovely, and saves a tiny fraction. Another one that can't be seen normally though;



In the backround you can see a honeycomb carbon fibre plate I made for the gearbox (the bit that covers the flywheel).

I tested the wiring today, and everything seems to be working as it should, so tomorrow I will put some fuel in and give it a try.

What's this weighing in at now Colin? That steering wheel can't have been that cheap even if the loom was cut

Anychance if having a browse when we pop over tomorrow?
